"LOS ANGELES - An Air Force veteran has filed a federal claim after an operation at a Veterans Administration hospital in which a healthy testicle was removed instead of a potentially cancerous one. Benjamin Houghton, 47, was to have had his left testicle removed June 14 at the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center because there was a chance it could harbor cancer cells.

It also was atrophied and painful.But doctors mistakenly removed the right testicle, according to medical records and the claim, which seeks $200,000 for future care and unspecified damages. He still hasn"t had the other testicle removed."At first I thought it was a joke," Houghton told the Los Angeles Times. "Then I was shocked. I told them, "What do I do now?"

Houghton, his wife, Monica, and their attorney, Dr. Susan Friery, said they hoped to get the VA"s attention by going public with the situation.Dr. Dean Norman, chief of staff for the Greater Los Angeles VA system, has formally apologized to Houghton and his wife."We are making every attempt that we can to care for Mr. Houghton, but it"s in litigation, and that"s all we can tell you," he said. The hospital changed practices as a result of the case, he added."

AHAH.

"A Chinese man is divorcing his wife after she pretended to hang herself as an April Fool"s joke.It happened when Mr Lin, of Shanghai, came home on April 1 after a business trip, reports the Shanghai Evening Post."When I opened the door, I saw a black object swinging in the air. When I turned on the light I was shocked to see my wife had hanged herself," he said.Lin immediately called police and the property office. Office staff helped Lin take down the "body" while waiting for the police."Suddenly, she sat up, started to laugh hysterically, and said this was my April Fool"s Day present," says Lin angrily.

His wife, Han, a 26-year-old actress, is always playing jokes on Lin as a way of keeping the marriage fresh. She says: "I just try to surprise him everyday."But Lin has has had enough: "I feel as if I"m sitting on a bomb everyday. We"re getting divorced!"I can"t stand the jokes and games anymore. She hides the dishes in the washing machine, or changes the lock on the door, so that I can only enter by giving the correct answer to some stupid questions, and so on.""
